Rear return system questions
i asked this over at Pro-touring but should have posted here where we've disussed this system before so i'll put it here also.
Took my 70 GTO to the tuner, FAST XFI, aeromotive A1000 inside Ricks tank, Aeromotive return style regulator mounted at tank and Aeromotive filters. Everything is plumbed with -10 for feed and -8 for the short return. Right away he told me it would not work the way I had it, he was concerned about the fuel going through the regulator, he thought the regulator would be a restriction that would cause the engine to starve for fuel. He recomended putting an additional -10 hose using t-fittings at the inlet and outlet, bypassing the regulator to help feed the engine. Have you guys had any problems that required this kind of fix?
Second question concerns no fuel at rails during restart, I have to let the pump run two or three times before the car will start. it seems that the fuel is returning to the tank and not staying at the rails. kind of stinks having to turn the key on and off three times before it will start. any easy fixes here? maybe a check valve of some type?
thanks for the help guys.
